Etsy Feature – Starwars Yoda Tea Cosy Knitting Pattern

Baby Yoda has been taking over the crafting world and whilst I am a big fan of the Childs cuteness, I am still a sucker for the original fandom of full-grown old as heck Yoda. This Tea cosy (yes people still use them) is for a Yoda (the old) pattern.

You can purchase this Yoda Knitting pattern via Etsy.

The Jedi Master Yoda tea cosy is adorable and really easy to make so you will be able to knit it up in no time at all without the need of the Force. The hood can be up or down. Yoda has wisps of white hair and a furrowed brow and of course those big iconic ears.

I know that my posts can be read at different times of year and in different years by different people, but as I write this we’re on teh cusp of summer. And I know a lot of people don’t knit as much, and certainly don’t wear a lot of knits in the summer, but I want to encourage you to make and to wear your makes no matter the temperature.

To introduce you to the joys of summer garment knitting, I offer the Tied Vest from Lion Brand Yarn.

This easy project is great to make and wear throughout the year but it’s especially good for summer. It’s worked flat in one piece from the bottom up, mostly in stockinette stitch with a seed stitch edging. The I-cord ties are worked directly onto the garment so you don’t have to sew them on.

The project uses worsted weight yarn, and calls for a blend of cotton and hemp that’s great for warm weather.

There are eight size options, ranging from a finished chest measurement of 35 to 62.5 inches, or 89 to 159 cm. That makes it sound like it should be worn with at least a few inches of positive ease, but the pattern doesn’t specify.

The ties at the front give it a casual look and make it great to wear over a tank top or T-shirt when the weather is warm.

I also think this one would be good to knit in wool or a warmer fiber, too, to make a version you could wear more comfortably in the winter months, too. Though of course you could layer the summer version over a long-sleeved shirt and wear it throughout the year, too.

The tied vest is a free pattern available from Lion Brand. You can also purchase a kit that includes the yarn and optional needles and stitch markers if you need them.
